Omnisearch for Obsidian
This plugin is in an early beta state. It's usable, but things may break, features are missing, configuration is non-existent, etc.
If you experience what you consider to be bug or performance problem, please open an issue.
Omnisearch aims to provide a fast, unobtrusive, and "intelligent" search interface for Obsidian. Under the hood, it uses the excellent MiniSearch library.
Installation
Omnisearch is not yet available on the official community plugins repository. You can manually download the scambier.obsidian-omnisearch-x.y.z.zip file from the releases page and unzip it in your .obsidian/plugins folder.
Features
- Automatic document scoring using the BM25 algorithm.
- Your notes are split into different fields (filename, title, body) that are weighted differently to sort the results.
- Get results as you type
- Highlight matching query terms
- Fuzzy/partial search, resistance to typos
Motivation
Obsidian works best with a well-organized vault, but most of my notes are unrelated tidbits of knowledge and code snippets, without tags, links, of even folders.
Since I like to favor "search over organization", I wanted to make a search interface that would be useful for me.
